I found it quite ironic that the article about the marshmallow experiment (The one i wanted to read most) was last. I found myself thinking about reading it first, when i thought... no! I must read the other articles first! Real clever, Mr. Peters.

The articles were actually interesting. And i didnt think about skimming through the titles to see what they might be about, but i liked how the marshmellow test was last!!!!

Thank you for giving us the exra time for the essay, well allowing us to choose when we want to turn it in. You did this last quarter in English 101 also and I found that at this time I had many other finals so having the choice of turning it in later and not re-doing the 3rd essay.

This gives us students more time if we need it. I think this is a great idea because many of us have finals we need to study for.
